These RCA Audio Output Jacks offer the possibility to route the audio signal to further Amplifier.
Helpful for example if Headunit offer only one pair RCA Output and further SXA Amplifier need
share same Signal. The use of them are to compare with Y-RCA Adapters
The Volume of your SXA Amplifier can get comfortable adjusted from driver seat.
This knob adjust 45Hz signal BOOST level from 0 up 12dB. Preferable demand small size cars.
This LED will light up when amplifier works properly
This LED will light up if amplifier has detected a fault or has shut down to protect itselves.
This may caused for example at excessive heat, reverse polarity, short circuit or overload.
This case please turn off the amplifier, disconnect and resolve the problem before continue.
This LED will light up when the signal starts clipping and support best settings of GAIN.
This Terminal is to connect directly to the frame of vehicle. Use shortest distance possible and
equal or larger AWG OFC Cable size than +12V Battery Cable. Asure frame cleaned to bar metal.
This Remote terminal is to connect with headunit 12V remote output to turn ON/OFF the amplifier
according operating of headunit. If there are more amplifier connected to this terminal it might be
necessary, depending on REM performance of headunit, to install an additional relay.

Connect this Terminal with proper 0 GA size OFC Power Cable through a Fuse to the positive
Terminal of the car battery or the positive terminal of an isolated external car audio battery.
Always protect Power Cable via Fuse less than 12inch (30cm) from battery terminal.
SXA Amplifiers need external Fuse not less than 12inch (30cm) from Power terminal.
Note: Please follow the maximum Fuse recommendation from Excursion SXA Specifications.
Note: We designed 0GA Terminal to fit Hollywood ENERGETIC HPST (MULTE IN) Adapters.
Connect your speaker or subwoofer to these terminals with proper polarity.
Minimum OFC speaker cable required 10GA, 8GA OFC strongly recommend.
Never short cut or connect cables with chassis ground, effect short circuit and damage amplifier.
WARNING:
WARNING:

15. Speaker Terminals
Installation of the amplifier should be done in the following steps:
1. Ensure that the ground is appropriate, then connect it to the amplifier.
2. Next step is to connect the +12V wire. Ensure all power terminals are used.
This cable has to be fused for safety precautions.
3. The final step is connecting the switched remote.
CAUTION
Before attempting to make any connections to power supply, input and output connectors,
make sure the amplifier is in OFF state. Check polarity of cables carefully as using reversed
polarity will cause damage to amplifier. And to prevent power loss and overheating of wiring,
always use the recommended wire gauges.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Before you install the amplifier, invesgate your car's layout very carefully. Take special care
when you work near the gas tank, fuel lines, hydraulic lines and electrical wiring. Before making
or breaking power connecons in your system, disconnect the vehicle baery. Confirm that
your head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecng the input jacks and speaker
terminals. If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse idencal to that
suggested by this manual. Using a fuse of a different type or rang may result in damage to your
audio system or your amplifier which is not covered by warranty .
CONNECTING THE AMPLIFIER
1. Connect the amplifiers ground cable to a close, bare metal part of the frame or chassis.
Use a nut and bol ! The ground cable must be at least the same size as the +12volt t
2. Connect the remote terminal to remote output of the head unit using 16 gauge upper wire.
3. Connect the fuse holder within 15”(30cm) of the car baery, and run the selected cable
from this fuse to the amplifier.
4. Connect all the inputs with high-quality cables. Connect Remote Control if necessary.
5. Insert fuse(s) into the baery fuse holder(s).
